Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim live preview Bundesliga
Bayern 
Match StatsBayern Munich：
As Bayern Munich seeks to mount pressure on Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen in their quest for a 12th consecutive top-flight crown, they face Hoffenheim on Friday night, aiming for a third successive league win. Despite their recent friendly against Basel and securing a draw, the focus shifts to mourning the loss of iconic player and manager Franz Beckenbauer, with a memorial service scheduled at the Allianz Arena on January 19. Hoffenheim, currently in seventh place, aims to bounce back from a challenging end to 2023 and secure a spot in the top five, but they must address recent setbacks, including a friendly loss to Augsburg and a winless streak in their last three away games.
Hoffenheim：
Following an impressive start to the season, Hoffenheim's early successes have faded, and they now face the challenge of overcoming recent inconsistencies. Despite holding Bayern to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena nine months ago, Pellegrino Matarazzo's team seeks redemption after a thrilling 3-3 draw against SV Darmstadt 98 and a friendly defeat to Augsburg. Sitting seventh in the table, Hoffenheim aims to close the gap to secure a place in the top five temporarily. However, they must address their recent struggles, including a winless streak on the road and the need to rectify mistakes from their recent friendly, to remain competitive in the Bundesliga.
Analysis：
Bayern Munich faces player shortages with Noussair Mazraoui and Kim Min-jae away for the Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup, respectively, and several key players, including Serge Gnabry and Bouna Sarr, sidelined due to injuries. Despite injury concerns, Matthijs de Ligt has recovered, and Konrad Laimer is expected to be available. With potential defensive reinforcements in the works, Hoffenheim, missing Diadie Samassekou at AFCON, is dealing with its own challenges, including injuries to Bambase Conte, Marco John, and Mergim Berisha. Kevin Vogt, linked to Union Berlin, remains with Hoffenheim for now, forming a familiar back three. Wout Weghorst may return from a muscular problem for Hoffenheim.
